Lowe's has them for under $5. I just dump the mouse into a really tall wastebasket it can't jump out of (important! they can jump really high!), cover it with a towel (just in case), carry it over the the far side of the nearby park and dump the mouse out under a tree near the RR tracks. They stay gone, and it's not near anyone else's house, either.

I can't stand the little buggers, but I hate killing them.
